+# What why how
+This is a project I created that pulls weather data from the internet, transforms it into custom images, and displays them on an e-ink screen powered by an ESP32.
+
+## What This Project Does
+
+I wanted a low-power way to see weather information at a glance, so I built this system that:
+
+- Fetches real-time weather data from online APIs
+- Processes and converts the data into visual images (temperature graphs, forecast icons, etc.)
+- Sends these images wirelessly to an ESP32 microcontroller
+- Displays the information on an energy-efficient e-ink screen
+- Updates periodically while consuming minimal power

+# How do I get to use this without programming knowledge?
+Check in the wiki for the guide how to get everything working!
